Dane's POV.“I said move faster! I am the Alpha, I am the rules of the pack. No one has the right to question my movement!” I commanded, my veins raging with nothing but fury and rage.I felt a sense of urgency coursing through my veins as Beta Ivar finally accepted and began to drive the car at its fastest speed just as I had commanded.If we were going to get Edmond or at least find Astrid alive, then that meant we needed to go faster. There shouldn't be any delay, no hesitation.“That's more like it!” I nodded my head, my focus fixed on the highway that was ahead. We kept driving, and it felt like the journey wasn't going to come to an end soon enough.“Are you sure this is the route we are to take? Are you sure this is where Edmond went through?” I asked as I turned to Beta Ivar, who was driving.“Yes, Alpha… this is the path the spies said he went through, and they are waiting at the place where Edmond had entered!” He said, and just then, I had to calm my nerves.I was going to
Dane's POVI had run into the warehouse to save Astrid without thinking about the outcome, without understanding that it was possibly still a trap set by Edmond.Just as I had taken about five steps into the warehouse, Beta Ivar's voice echoed from behind, drawing my attention immediately.“Alpha Dane!” Turning around, I saw several werewolves charging towards me, their claws glistening.I tried shifting, but it wasn't possible. I found it difficult to shift into my wild form because I was still weak and cursed.I couldn't believe I was going to die at this point just because I was cursed. They soon got closer to where I was standing, and with their hands lifted, they were going to kill me. They were going to slash me, but just then, my men charged into the warehouse, taking over.They immediately shifted into their wolf form and, without hesitation, slashed the attackers from behind, bringing the men to the ground before me.“Go ahead, Alpha. Get your Luna!” they urged, my eyes widen
Dane's POV.The second I got into the room, the strong stench of blood wafted through my nostrils, coupled with the fact that there were rogues kneeling before me.They had their glares fixed on me as I entered. They knew me and they knew how ruthless I could be. With a smirk tugging at my lips, I walked over to where they were kneeling, and I couldn't help but tighten my fist in anger knowing that they were the ones who had held Astrid for days.“No matter what, we won't say a single word to you, Dane! You are…” one of them began to utter through his gritted teeth, but immediately, my Gamma, who stood right behind me, didn't hesitate to charge forward and punch him in the face.“How dare you utter the name of my Alpha without respect? Don't you have any respect for your Alpha?” he yelled as his blow to the kneeling rogue's face sent waves of pain through him.He was expected to keep silent, but he didn't. Instead, he began to laugh, his sudden shift in emotions making me pause for a
Dane's POV“Now, Rogue… let out your inner wolf, I have something to tell him!” I commanded, and because he was reluctant, I had to do the job for him.“Here, why don't I help you?” Immediately, I roared, my eyes shifting to those of my wolf, and my heart raced rapidly, knowing that what I was doing was a bit dangerous.Just then, he growled, his head arching to the ceiling, and his claws spiralling out just as I liked it. I relished this moment; I was happy seeing what was happening to him.The second he looked back at me, I saw his yellow eyes staring at me.“What have you done? I need to shift back! What the hell did you do?” He blinked countless times as he tried to shift back to his human form, but that wasn't going to happen. Not when I was in charge.“Showing you that I am your Alpha… I called your inner wolf, and he responded… but guess what? He won't hide from me until I make him…” A sinister sneer left my lips as I looked at his claws.“Nice claws you have there!” I uttered,
Dane's POV.Heading back to the mansion or the main building, I couldn't help but recall every single word the rogue had said to me when I kept torturing him. Edmond had some nerves to take My Luna and think this was a game.“I'll make you pay dearly for what you've done, Edmond! By the time he gets to the public and reveals your evil intentions, you'll have no way, no right to deny it!” I said inwardly as my focus and attention were now fixed on the mansion ahead.Getting to the door, I wasted no time in pushing it open and walking into it. If there was anything that mattered at this moment, it definitely was going to see Astrid.Although I was angry or mad about what Edmond had done, I still couldn't contain or suppress the joy I felt knowing that my mate is actually back in the mansion.Without a single delay, I headed right for her room. Beta Ivar has been with her since I left so I was certain that she was in good hands.“Alpha Dane!” Beta Ivar bowed his head the second he saw me
Astrid's POV:“Where am I?” I mumbled as I opened my eyes slowly. It felt heavy, but most of all, I felt comfort. It was clear that I wasn't at the warehouse anymore, and the light that first greeted me the second I opened my eyes proved me right.“Am I…” I gasped as I fluttered my eyes open wide, looking around the place. It was clear that I wasn't just picked away in some old rusty place anymore. I was safe, I was okay.“Thank the Moon Goddess for this, thank the Moon Goddess for saving me!” I prayed silently as I sat up on the bed.At this point, I needed to get the full explanation of how I got saved from the warehouse because the last I checked, I had blacked out after the rogue had tortured me, and I couldn't tell what happened next.“Could it be him that brought me back to the mansion?” I mumbled but shook my head almost immediately, trying to dispel the thoughts of Alpha Dane helping me out.“It can't be possible, he can't be the one!”I climbed out of the bed, ready to use th
Astrid's POV.“Congratulations on getting pregnant,” the doctor suddenly uttered, making my eyes bulge out in shock and awe.Without hesitation, I grabbed him by the hand and pulled him closer to me. It was obvious that he knew something no one in the pack must know, something that must be kept a secret and never let out.“Luna Astrid… Are you okay? You should…” he started to say when I cut in sharply without hesitation. It was best I told him now rather than never or later.“This is why I am here. Only I know that I am pregnant. Alpha Dane must not know! Please!” I pleaded, my eyes staring into his eyes. My fingers that were wrapped around his arm clenched tightly, and he could feel my fingers digging into his skin.“What?” he exclaimed, not believing what I had just said to him. “But that should be great news. It’s not like Alpha Dane would kill his own child, right?” he uttered, making me scoff immediately.I wished it was his child. I wished the child belonged to him so I wouldn’t
Dane's POV.Waking up so early the next morning felt tiresome. I just wished I could have a day of rest and not do anything at all, but who was I kidding? I was an Alpha and had my pack members to lead.Sitting up on the bed, I turned to look beside me and found Astrid fast asleep. It was funny, though, seeing how we had gone from despising each other to being scared of losing each other.If it were earlier when she came to the pack, I bet there was no way I'd stay on the same bed with her. She'd disgust me to the core, but I guess the mate bond was stronger than I had ever imagined.Without hesitation, I stood to my feet and walked over to the wardrobe. I grabbed my towel and, wrapping it around my waist, headed straight for the bathroom to get ready.I made sure it was just a quick shower. Once I was done, I came out and made my way to where my clothes were hung. I had already gotten them prepared beforehand just to ensure that I wouldn't be late for the judgement of the day.“This
